ORDER
Plaintiff Christal Green brings this action against defendant Arkansas Department of
Community Correction alleging employment discrimination. Defendant has filed a motion
[doc.#14] for a protective order stating that plaintiff has requested personnel material for third
parties employed by defendant and that while defendant will make the information available to
plaintiff, it should be subject to a protective order. Plaintiff does not object to a protective order
per se but states that defendant made no attempt to resolve the matter without court intervention.
Having considered the matter, the Court grant’s defendant’s motion for a protective
order. As there is not a proposed protective order for the Court’s consideration, the Court directs
that within twenty (20) days of the date of entry of this Order, the parties submit for the Court’s
consideration an agreed protective order. If the parties are unable to agree on a protective order,
they may each submit, again within twenty (20) days of the date of entry of this Order, their own
proposed protective order after which the Court will make a determination of the wording of the

protective order to be entered.1

IT IS SO ORDERED this 7th day of February 2012.
/s/Susan Webber Wright
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

1

Protective orders of the type appropriate to this situation are routine and the Court does not
expect any difficulties of the parties in agreeing to a protective order, especially as plaintiff indicates the
parties will be able to work out the matter between themselves.
